Call to extend airport transport services

The Labour spokesman for tourism, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca is urging the government to promote new transport services to and from the airport.

Welcoming the new unscheduled bus service at the airport, Ms Coleiro Preca said it should be extended to all tourist areas, such as Gozo.

She said the government should be prepared to participate directly in such initiatives, particularly in this time of crisis.

Ms Coleiro Preca welcomed the increased services by low-cost airlines and said the government should provide all the necessary support to enable Air Malta to maintain and extend its market.
